Windows Standalone doesn't work. The Error Message was "Data folder not found".

danman9914 2016-04-18 18:19

Awesome art! Loved the pulsing backgrounds

swamppenguins 2016-04-18 18:19

So cool!

chromebookbob 2016-04-18 18:20

Beautiful graphics and pumpin' beats. The controls are a little fiddly, sometimes the jump key doesn't work but it's a very polished game.

cameronsamuels 2016-04-18 18:20

Your windows dropbox link doesnt work.

wasd 2016-04-18 18:22

Mistakes were made :D should work now
Thanks for pointing that out

2016-04-18 18:49

i would love to love this game so much, it's beautifull, abstract and happy, the music is incredible and good, the jumping is a bit slippery and jumping off of ledges is very difficult, it also seems the ledges are either beveled or rounded at the end, maybe that's the problem there, also the pattern in some parts felt to go a little too fast to figure out at first glance what was going on so i was stuck on a certain part where i had to jump on a spike to get over the gap, that was frustrating. but still, very well done on this one i give it a 7/10 ~ eyecandy

good job!

luvshape 2016-04-19 01:22

When i saw the screenshot i just had to try it! Beautiful art!

ithildin 2016-04-19 02:05

I love the art style and the concept, a brilliant take on the theme. Congrats!!

kestrelgames 2016-04-19 05:00

Great style and graphics. Neat idea too!

kairosxiii 2016-04-19 05:06

Love the style!

aidanmarkham 2016-04-19 06:43

Very good! I loved this! The art was incredible polished for a jam game! The platforming was fun, if at bit difficult at times. I felt as though I should be able to just jump along at full speed, even though I couldn't.

le_sarus 2016-04-19 06:46

Can get a little unforgiving as the level progresses but really nice stuff

mandolinquinn 2016-04-19 07:14

Great style and fantastic concept.

The platforming felt a little lackluster, but the puzzles were challenging and rewarding. The background switching started to grate on me after a while because of the strain it puts on ones eyes.

Stunnig art direction though.

fumiko 2016-04-19 12:17

Really nice artwork and music.
Liked the game play and feel also.
Really great result.

obsessivenotion 2016-04-19 14:34

The slowmo and fastforward did not work as expected. The background is really nice!

siryakko 2016-04-19 14:39

Fun art direction and great mechanics. Just some control a bit to sensitive making the progression a bit frustrating on some part. Good game though

mikaza 2016-04-19 14:39

great !

chikoness 2016-04-19 14:45

Very nice asthaetics, music works with the background, very pretty arts too! But I couldn't move on after this one checkpoint lol xD; Looks real polished too, amazing amazing job!!

ploerre 2016-04-19 14:47

Nice Graphics and interesting idea.
But i found it really hard to play so i gave up early.
Web version makes to big screen, it doesnt fit in the Browser,

apantaloni 2016-04-19 14:49

Really nice and clean graphical style. I love how the soundtrack is integrated into the gameplay.

santiandrade 2016-04-19 14:55

Cool!!

khaos_fang 2016-04-19 14:58

Nice game. The art is really beautiful!

crimson713 2016-04-19 15:00

Great job! The graphics look great and fit the music well and the idea fits the theme and is well implemented.

wan 2016-04-19 15:00

Finally, a game I can play with my controller!!! :D

The art is excellent, the gameplay was fine, but... I felt the level design didn't live up to the cool game idea. The difficulty ramped up quickly from easy to split-second precision, and I found it confusing that technically there's not 3 worlds, but 6 (the colors change every 2 beats, but blocks can appear/disappear every beat). Also there was little use for accelerating time I think?

I guess time was lacking a bit to have enough polished contents, fortunately the awesome art + the controller compatiblity save the game ;)

wasd 2016-04-19 15:14

@Wan you are totally right, as mentioned above its our first LD and we didnt had the time to come up with better level design and also there is much room to improve the usage of the slowdown/fastforward. But we are all here to learn something and thats defently something we need to tackle in out next LD-participation. Thanks for the feedback :)

linver 2016-04-19 15:14

Looks and sounds beutiful. Idea is cool,
but I cann't pass part with transforming triangle guy :(
So hard ..

kariamoss 2016-04-19 15:22

Awesome graphics, i love the backgrounds. Great work! :)

otiose-ent 2016-04-19 15:26

great art style! the animation of the character could have been smoother and the game was pretty hard, but that logo is great

dmitrix 2016-04-19 15:29

I like the particle effects

mase 2016-04-19 15:34

The changing parallax background is a good idea. Nice vibrant palette as well.

Thanks for the generous number of checkpoints... I guess I've become a casual in my advanced years. I raged a little but managed to complete the game.

I notice the speedup/slowdown expires after a certain amount of time, like 10 seconds or so.
The audio synchronization seemed less coherent in the slowed down version... though I'm not great at rhythm games so that could be part of the, um, issue.
Yep.

2016-04-19 15:36

Very good work at graphics but mechanically weak:D
It was painfully fun and enjoyable!:D Thanks for the great work!

reallysketchypen 2016-04-19 17:17

The art is really great and the changing background is very cool (though the abrupt changes without transition hurt my eyes a bit, but that could just be me). It was a bit hard, but the check points made up for that. Overall, it's a really great game.

citsua 2016-04-19 17:49

Nice game, quite challenging but I often missed my jump just because my character didn't jump even though I pressed space. Really great though, clean graphics and nice use of the theme! I never felt the need to speed up the music though.

pogo 2016-04-19 18:56

Love the art, fantastic visuals!
The platforming is a little clunky, but a solid game!

dustyroom 2016-04-19 20:14

I like how everything dances! Some elements are too quick for me though.

mikeware 2016-04-20 06:27

The fact that the entire background changed was a bit intense at times. Really like the concept and art, but the difficulty was really tough (though frequent checkpoints helped). I think a few of the jumps were a bit long and the timings very precise even when slowed down.

Would have liked to see a puzzle involving the speed-up button. Looking forward to seeing more of this.

usonchen 2016-04-20 06:39

Great art and to the point !
The art style is very attractived !

fullmontis 2016-04-20 07:00

Very nice visual design! The gameplay is simple but quite challenging. I think the controls could be tighter. And the soundtrack is funky!

nextreality 2016-04-20 07:02

The graphics are amazing and the gameplay is challenging yet fun, very impressed with what was done in the time limit here, great work!

wasd 2016-04-20 07:30

Thank you so much for all the feedback. We really appreciate that

derr 2016-04-20 07:35

Great concept! I believe I didn't make it very far, but I can see how many layers are at work. Can I hit enemies from below when my head becomes a triangle?

tmpxyz 2016-04-20 07:47

The art and music are great!

wasd 2016-04-20 07:51

@derr i like that idea :) This could be a feature if we decide to continue working on this game

jerryzhao 2016-04-20 08:12

wow, a great team, great game, I love it!

blockdroppers 2016-04-20 08:44

Great game, love the music and colors.

studdert249 2016-04-20 08:57

The idea, music, and art looked really nice! And I liked how the time changing mechanic worked with the music, but the constant shifting between the different worlds was a bit hard on the eyes

maekeruu 2016-04-20 08:57

WOW this is real nice!!! The concept was one of my first ideas but i didn't develop... The graphics are dope and i like IT... as much as i love rhythm games, i love the graphics.. tho playing the game for a long time makes me feel nauseated xD but i had fun !

anaguilefdez 2016-04-20 09:09

Polished game, great minimalistic art. I like its relation with the music. A bit difficult sometimes, but nice work

pibeex 2016-04-20 10:35

Great graphics and idea!

allthebees 2016-04-20 10:49

Cool idea, kinda similar to what we ended up making but definitely executed differently. I really like the art, impressive for your first LD :)

indieyp 2016-04-20 11:50

Coolnest style)))

bubuiic 2016-04-20 14:49

Graphics are awesome! It also was a lot of fun to play, although quite challenging, but that has not to be a bad thing. But I'm absolutely to clumsy for that fast SpeedUp thingy! :-D Maybe I should play another round! ;-)

kai20 2016-04-20 16:35

cool idea and also the soundtrack effect with this faster and slower mode.

leffe108 2016-04-20 17:30

This was fun to play. Nice that music and game mechanics is synced. I got a memory limit message from unity web player in Firefox, but on chrome it worked fine.

A suggestion is to have a visual indicator on music speed show shortly when you press j/k.

dvdking 2016-04-20 17:34

music connected to with gameplay really well!

miret 2016-04-20 17:39

Nice art and awesome music! Although I found it very difficult to play, I've enjoyed until the end.

hippy-dave 2016-04-20 17:43

Awesome visuals and catchy music. Controls are a bit fiddly which makes it pretty hard.

demane_f 2016-04-20 18:01

Great but HARDCORE

antglynn 2016-04-20 18:54

Nice entry, I like the concept. The platforming controls are a little tricky, but the graphics are lovely. Good job!

edve98 2016-04-21 15:06

Web version is VERY laggy for me. Shame there isn't Linux build - maybe it wouldn't lag that much

taviandir 2016-04-21 18:25

Nice music, although gets repetitive. The visuals are great, very very good graphics. The control of the character isn't great - sometimes jumps were missed.

pzeronow 2016-04-22 17:19

Not a real fan of the main character's walkcycle but I liked this entry a lot. The art works well and the mechanics are quite nice.

omarhuseynov011 2016-04-22 17:38

Damn dude amazing game but why it has to be so freaking difficult?! Great job!

devilqube 2016-04-22 17:44

nice, The graphics are look lovely.

seconddimension 2016-04-22 17:50

It's a really nice colour palette, I think it looks great. It's a cool idea to control the level with the speed of the music too. I think there are some points that are quite frustrating, but that's probably just because you were running out of time. Overall it's a great job

vantaug 2016-04-22 18:01

Very cool interesting art style, very nice how the graphics are animated and influenced by the background music, it really ads a ton of polish to the game.

egos 2016-04-22 18:06

very good
The last part is so hard but thanks god you put checkpoint

mrshoestore 2016-04-22 18:41

i like the mechanic with the time change, and the polish is great.

suurin 2016-04-22 18:54

Cool idea and great polish, I generally enjoyed playing it. But, although I understand that it's supposed to make the game harder, the constant background flickering was too uncomfortable for my eyes and just overly distracting.

scorched 2016-04-22 19:21

Giana Sisters meets 140 :-)

blinry 2016-04-22 23:24

The music is wonderful, but so short :( Wasn't really drawn into the gameplay. Graphics are nice!!

lostalloy 2016-04-22 23:55

Awesome! I really liked the design of the traps. The song is really catchy!

questionablequality 2016-04-24 10:33

Absolutely adored the visuals and the music, but it was a tad too fast to really get into. If it was slower I think it'd be a really solid game.

Played briefly @ 2:59:40 : http://www.hitbox.tv/video/991443

felladrin 2016-04-24 17:32

I liked the game art! The mechanics are simple, but the challenges are very well designed. Good challenge!

I've played the webgl version, and noticed the jump command is not so responsive. Hope it's happenning only on the web version.

rock-eaters 2016-05-02 20:16

Nice game, but platform are not my favorite games. But the concept fits really well to the them for a simple platform game. Rythmic is also good.

tooichi 2016-05-03 11:46

Nice graphics, interesting idea ;)

sabina-lis 2016-05-05 02:32

I liked the graphics

silkworm_sweatshop 2016-05-06 22:14

Love the art style!

jupiter_hadley 2016-05-08 18:12

Lovely graphics! I included it in my video compilation series of Ludum Dare games, if you’d like to check them out :) https://youtu.be/sLxVMaXEMmg
